Hosted by Asimira!

Artists of all levels—and those who are just a little curious about the relaxing benefits of life drawing—are invited to join us.

There will be two slow rope performances with poses held between 1 and 10 minutes.

We will zoom in on the anatomy of the spine with a strong focus on backbends (both from a top and a bottom perspective)!

The Rope Jam at Daruma welcomes shibari enthusiasts of all levels and backgrounds (beginners are super welcome!) to practice, play, chat, or just to watch.

This study group is an opportunity to delve into the intricacies of Gestalta’s personal rope style; their techniques, thought processes and aesthetics, and receive feedback and coaching on both the minute details and overarching principles of shibari from a practitioner with more than 16 years of extensive experience on both sides of the rope.

Our 6 week courses for shibari beginners run every Tuesday from our studio in Neukölln, Berlin. Both levels are taught in English by one of our regular in-house teachers.

The goal of these classes is to facilitate regular, structured shibari practice, that aims to go deep rather than broad, helping you to develop a really firm grasp of rope bondage basics, build muscle memory, and get to know other participants.

Towards Suspension (Step 3): Uplines, Partials and Crafting a Rope Session is a 6-week shibari course designed for those who are ready to start learning (partial-)suspensions. This closed-group format fosters a supportive learning environment, allowing you to build connections with peers at a similar skill level.

Having combined rope with my work as a nude model, aesthetics have been an integral part of my practice from the very beginning. I take pleasure from making something that I find beautiful to look at, despite or possibly partly because of the discomfort this might put my partner in. This workshop will be very hands-on and challenge you to think about what you find beautiful, in general and in the person you are with right now. Bottoms will be invited to channel into what it means to them to feel beautiful, how this can be achieved and how feeling this or quite the opposite influences their headspace.

Bi-weekly consent deep-dive that treats consent as an ideology or everyday way of life rather than a set of rules to follow. Slow down, take a breath, and check in with yourself. What do you want right now? Could you be more comfortable? Receive more pleasure? Make that annoying noise stop bothering you?

Do you dare to ask for it?

Misungui’s performances are renowned for their daring and playful nature, and indeed for the charismatic stage presence of Misungui herself.

with Misungui and Tree

Misungui has been tying people of varied builds and physical conditions for over 10 years, and through this has developed techniques to adapt the classic forms of shibari to all bodies and abilities, and and also has adapted her way of tying to help herself, as a relatively small rigger.

For her, tying with a stool is not only helpful in these respects, but also opens up a whole new world of playful possibilities!

with Asimira & Tree Ropes

Pressure is an unavoidable part of practicing rope, whether we’re talking about compressing the body to itself, the pressure of the ropes to the body or the pressure of one body onto another. Often when we talk about pressure it is in relation to pain (think pressure points), but pressure can also be a very pleasurable sensation. In this workshop we will look at ways to apply pressure in a rope scene in pleasurable ways.
